Options – KPI Chart


Option

Description

Default title

Specifies the default title for this visualization type.

Tip: If you edit the title for a KPI chart and you want to use that title expression in all new KPI charts, then you can click the Set as Default button in the Edit Title dialog directly.

Start each KPI on a new row

   

Select this check box to start each KPI on a new row. This can be useful when the different KPIs have similar colors and you want to better distinguish them visually.

   Show titles

   

Select this check box to show the title of each KPI.

   Additional spacing (in pixels)

   

Select this check box if you want to adjust the number of pixels that should be added between the KPIs.

Note: If the visualization is resized and scaled down due to what has been set in Min number of tiles per row and Min number of visible tiles in the visualization properties, the spacing is also adjusted relatively and does no longer reflect the exact number of pixels specified here.

Min tile width relative to font size (in pixels)

Specifies the minimum tile width in the grid of tiles in the KPI chart. The minimum tile width is relative to the font size. If you change the font size, the tile width is automatically increased or decreased by the same multiple as the font size.

For example, when you increase the font size from 9 to 18, the tile width doubles automatically. The value specified in here however, stays the same. This value only reflects the tile width as the actual number of pixels, when the font size is set to Default in the visualization properties.

If the visualization is resized and the tile width falls below the number specified here, tiles will be moved to the next row. If they cannot be moved to the next row or must remain visible due to what has been set in Min number of tiles per row and Min number of visible tiles in the visualization properties, they will be scaled down while keeping the ratio between the tile width and the font size.

Important: It is recommended that you set the font size first before you set the minimum tile width.

Use separate color for marked items

Select this check box to use a specified marking color (default is green) for marked items in this visualization type. If the check box is cleared, then unmarked items will be faded out instead.

Individual KPI preferences

 

Show sparkline

Specifies whether or not sparklines should be displayed in the tiles when creating a new KPI chart.

Show sparkline scale

Specifies whether or not the vertical scale range should be displayed for the sparklines.

Include origin

Specifies whether or not the value 0 should be included in the sparkline scale range.

Reset

Resets all properties on this page to the default values.

Note that an administrator can configure which settings should be default for certain user groups on the server. If you are a member of such a group, the options on this page will be set to these defaults when you click the Reset button.
